Off-Optimum Cure of Aerospace Epoxy Adhesives

Four epoxy film adhesives used in aircraft manufacture and repair have been examined to establish the effect of deviation from the cure cycle specified by the manufacturer. In addition to the variation of the cure cycle, two surface preparations of the aluminium adherends (chromic acid etch or grit blast followed by silane treatment) were evaluated. Thermal analysis was used to examine the cure envelope of the adhesive, and its extent of cure and glass transition temperature. The adhesive properties were assessed by shear strength (in both single lap joints and in Iosipescu configuration), durability (Boeing wedge test) and chemical resistance to selected aggressive fluids. The sensitivity of the performance of a particular adhesive to offoptimum cure conditions depends on its composition and needs to be determined, not predicted.     

A new approach to the mechanism of chlorine evolution: Separate examination of the kinetic steps using ac impedance on a rotating thin ring electrode

In the absence of a bulk diffusion effect, it is shown for the first time that the impedance spectra for the chlorine evolution reaction on a rotating thin ring electrode comprise three consecutive semicircles in the capacitive half of the complex plane. The first (highest frequency) semicircle is due to the charge-transfer resistance for chloride discharge and the simultaneous chlorine adsorption coupled to the double-layer capacitance. The second semicircle (around 5 Hz) is due to the adsorption and desorption of a chlorine intermediate. The third (lowest frequency, around 0.5 Hz) semicircle is due to the relaxation of surface oxygen species. The impedance data allow the steps of the overall reaction to be examined individually. On a Pt surface the rate of chloride discharge and simultaneous chlorine adsorption (the admittance of the first semicircle) is first order with respect to chloride concentration and has a potential-dependence close to 58 mV/decade. The rate of the adsorption and desorption process (the admittance of the second semicircle) is second order with respect to chloride concentration, and has a potential dependence close to 30 mV/decade. The time constant for the adsorption/desorption processes is ca 20 ms, independent of electrode potential in the range studied. These features are consistent with a mechanism in which a faster discharge reaction (Cl⁻ Cl_ad + e) is followed by a slower surface combination reaction (2Cl_ad → Cl₂), but inconsistent with mechanisms in which ion + atom desorption is predominant, the initial chloride discharge is slow, or a unipositively charged chlorine species is involved.

The amylose and lipid contents,dimensions, and gelatinisation characteristics of some wheat starches and their A- and B-granule fractions

Starches isolated from 23 bread wheats (Triticum aestivum) and 26 durum wheats (T. durum) contained 26.3-30.6% (mean 29.1%) total amylose, 19.3–25.1% (mean 22.9%) apparent amylose and 783–1144mg 100g^?1 (mean 977 mg 100g^?1) lysophos-pholipids. Gelatinisation temperatures were 57.3–64.9°C (mean 61.8°C) and enthalpies 6.4–11.8 Jg^?1 (mean 9.7Jg^?1) in excess water, measured by differential scanning calorimetry. There were no correlations between any of these parameters. Starch granule size distributions were determined with a Coulter Counter and 100–channel analyser. A-granule mean volumes were 1235–2585μm³ (av. 1778), modal volumes 863–1804μm³ (av. 1264), mean diameters 13.9–16.0μm (av. 13.99), and specific surface areas 0.236–0.302m²g^?1. B-granule mean volumes were 35.4–100.4μm³ (av. 55.9), modal volumes 16.5–54.5μm³ (av. 27.7), mean diameters 3.66–5.07μm (av. 4.09), and specific surface areas 0.684–0.920m²g^?1. The B-granule contents of the starches were 12.8–34.6% (av. 27.3) by weight (sedimentation method) and 13.0–37.3% (av. 24.0) by volume (Coulter method), the latter being the more accurate method.     

The influence of additives on the rheological and sensory properties of nonfat yogurt

In this work, response surface methodology was applied to a study of the effects of the addition of skim milk powder and stabilizers on the apparent viscosity and sensory attributes of nonfat yogurt. The addition of stabilizers has been shown to produce a significant effect on sensory attributes, while high concentrations of xanthan and guar gum are seen to decrease the overall acceptability of the yogurt, with gelatin producing the higher apparent viscosity and consistency. The correlation among apparent viscosity, which is an instrumental measurement, and consistency, which is a sensory evaluation, was 0.72.
